FELA!, new Broadway musical based on the life of Fela Anikulpo Kuti. An internationally known and traveled Nigerian born composer/musician, celebrated as the pioneer of Afrobeat music. He was an active human rights and political activist. His nonconformist voice landed him amongst political battles and debates that would, at times, land him in jail. Inspired by his mother, a civil rights champion, he defied a corrupt and oppressive military government and devoted his life and music to the struggle for freedom and human dignity. Fela Kuti died on August 2, 1997 from AIDS related complications.
